The police have asked that people should stay out of Breitscheidplatz as they need all exit routes.

Though the reason for the attack is yet to be known as police is unsure if it is an accident or terrorist attack, but the driver of the attack has been taken into custody while the second occupant of the truck was found dead.

 Ariel Żurawski, owner of the transportation company to whom the truck belongs, told TVN24 that he had lost contact with the driver around noon. "According to him, they did something to the driver, hijacked the truck and they did what they did. This wasn't my driver. I vouch for him, he was my cousin" - he added.

The police responded by alerting everyone to stay indoors and avoid public place with large people gathering, as this seems to be the target for the attackers.
